Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day herald the coming of Spring with its upbeat themes of rebirth and renewal — so let’s hope this Spring will bring new buds of economic growth.

This issue of the Devil Mountain Views (DMV) contains articles that I hope you find helpful. Susan Moxley did a great job editing the articles, and Joe Humbert published them in our award-winning newsletter format.

Rebecca Metschke, Principal, the Metschke Group, shares job search tips from her career guide, The Interview Edge.

Melody Brumis, co-owner of Write on Time along with Adrienne Tang, offers as a regular DMV feature tips that she and Melody have picked up as new business owners. This edition they share tips for collecting testimonials from clients and bosses.

Andrea Wenger, Carolina STC Chapter Member, educates us on the correct use of apostrophes.

And finally, Joe Humbert and I invite you to read “Your Life Story in Six Words?” then send us six words that encapsulate your life story (a six-word memoir). We’ll publish these life snapshots in the next issue of the DMV.

Next DMV deadline is April 2, 2009 (although we'll accept your six-word memoirs by April 15). Send your articles or ideas for articles to me at hairston.turner@gmail.com.
